    Story of F&B
    Rudy D.

    Great concept close to home! I've been to the Library in Fresno and it's great too, but I dig the ambiance here. Our server Kyle was on top of it. The drink menu is short but he confirmed that their mixologist can make just about anything. We had the Peat Farmer, Tropic Thunder, Spanish Pear, and the Butchers Old Fashioned. All were great!

    Such good service. Entrance through diccicios, cork and knife and alley way. Loved the spiced pear drinks. Since it was slow was able to order food from diccicos which was helpful. Ordered a glass of wine from cork and knife before entry. Loved the wasabi peas bar snack

    A new speakeasy is happening in downtown clovis! Didn't want to take pictures of the inside so to not spoil the surprise. You will need to make a reservation, but worth it. Josh one of the bartenders was fun to talk to and will gladly explain the variety of drinks on the menu and make suggestions. The ambience is charming with the 1920's vibe. I recommend the charcuterie board to complement the cocktails. Forgot to take a picture but was delicious. Fun place to bring a date!

    The ceiling is really cool!

    The service was great! They filled our waters often and made sure we were taken care of. Drink recommendations were a hit. The vibe was really cool.

    Tropic Thunder and Spanish Pear

    Incredible service. Ambiance was very much like a speakeasy should be. Drinks were very good. A little sweet for my taste but still amazing, very smooth

    Cocktails and friends!

    Overall great experience! Service was awesome, friendly and social. The ambiance made you forget where you were. Six of us shared the charcuterie board and had two cocktails each, including the infamous Laundry Day. We'll go back!

    Great drinks, service, and general vibe. Drinks are unique and balanced. I highly recommend the Spanish Pear.

    Really enjoyed our olive tray and drink! Didn't know we could order from Diciccos next door. Will definitely do dinner and drinks next time. Atmosphere was great for a date or a small group of friends. Staff was amazing! I accidentally left my phone and they kept it safe until the next day. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!

    Laundry Day drink!

    Amazing service, fantastic drinks. This was our first night here. We came here on a recommendation. We are very glad we listened! We had a great night! They do not have food, but you can order a charcuterie board or olives. Our server Nicole was fabulous!!! We will be back

    It was the very first night and it ran very well. Lots of excited energy. The drink menu had a lot of thought put into it. It was a great experience. I like the dark hush-hush mood of the room. Will be back.

    The service and ambience are always great!! We've been here a couple times a love it. I agree with the others reviews, some people can get really loud which may interfere with the experience but not the businesses fault. We have tried all the drinks in the menu and all really great. Truly recommend

    Is it possible to order a bottle of wine from Cork & Knife for the table, since they have a bigger selection?

As usual there was a line, it took about 15-20mins for us to get to the front and orders taken. I haven't been here in years and I really missed it! Before reaching the registers our order was taken by a kind lady while we were in line. My order: salmon with tzatziki sauce, teppanyaki fried rice and rigatoni with sausage. I also ordered my kids from the lil sprouts: spaghetti with butter & parm. We requested for patio seat since we had our munchkins were with us. I've never seat in their patio area, it was wonderful! Shade, misters and ac though it was a hot 90 degree weather it was very cool and comfortable! Our food came out quickly and plated beautifully! Large portions. The food was amazing! So much flavors. The salmon paired perfectly well with the tzatziki sauce. The pasta was and the fried rice was delicious! The kids meal was also large portioned and enough for my kids to share and they enjoyed it. For dessert we ordered their frozen greek yogurt the baklava & honey was yum! Perfect treat to top our lunch! Will always recommend this place! They are Busy, but thankfully everything went smoothly.

I love their ordering system--you order first, then grab a seat while your food is prepared. The staff is always kind, attentive, and frequently checks in to make sure you have everything you need. They have a small patio that's nice, but I personally love sitting inside. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. My favorite thing about Heirloom is their rotating seasonal menu. There's always something new to try, which keeps me coming back. My all-time favorite is their seasonal fig pizza. I don't have a picture of it, but if it's on the menu when you visit, definitely order it! Their cocktails are also fantastic and pair perfectly with the food. If you're ever in Fresno, Heirloom is absolutely worth checking out.

When making the reservation, i made a note that it was our anniversary! When we arrived and checked in, the hostess acknowledged our anniversary, as did our server! Very hospitable that they acknowledged it, as some other places don't. The food has been great both times and the portions are generous! Some high end places get a little skimpy, especially with the sides. Not here! This time around, I ordered the Prime Rib, got the whipped potatoes and substituted the Brussels sprouts. Both were generous portions. Also love the added touch that they'll give you fresh horseradish to go along with the horseradish cream for a little extra kick. My wife had the Ribeye, which we've both ordered before, and it's delicious. She ordered the cashew green beans, but they were very saucy and some were burnt. When brought up to the server, she said she would have the kitchen make her a fresh ordered without hesitation. Within a few minutes, a nice sized portion of fresh Cashew Green Beans arrived! The Wedge Salad is also delicious and generously portioned. It could actually be a meal for someone, if so inclined. The atmosphere is also very welcoming and private. We've sat inside and on the patio, and actually preferred the patio seating! I can't say enough about the hospitality of the staff though. There's a gentleman who is either the lead host or a manager, that's been there both times. He takes a personal interest in the customers and makes sure to visit each table, which you don't often see. As we were walking out, he was also walking out behind us. Even though we were a few steps ahead, he wished us (again) a happy anniversary and to have a great night! This is a special place in Fresno and a great choice for a special occasion. Note: Food was so good I forgot to take pictures

The drinks were so good and the menu looked amazing too! They have so many options to choose from, perfect place to share a few bites with a group. Very cute inside, we sat at the bar but they have tables as well as a patio too.

    I feel like I am going crazy because all of these interviews talk about how good the food and…read moreatmosphere was, but this wasn't our experience. The setup itself is just weird; you have to stand outside and wait for someone to come out to seat you. When you go inside, its small and has kind of a "bar meets saddam hussein's palace" kind of vibe, there is gold everywhere in here. Not to mention its a bar that has been converted into a restaurant, its separated by the check-in desk by drapery. One good point is that all of the staff is very friendly and attentive, although I think our waitress had to cover every table in the place, which seems kind of not great for her! We started with some drinks, they were both good, no complaints there. After they came we ordered our food, we ordered them one at a time. First up was the bacon wrapped dates. These were pretty good, the bacon was cooked well and had some good crisp, it paired well with the dates and cheese inside. The walnut was kind of weird and my wife and I both thought for a second the date pit hadn't been removed. Next we got the corn empanadas, these were disappointing but not awful. The dough was cooked fine but it has absolutely no flavor, like nothing at all. The filling was also cooked ok, the corn had good texture, but similarly, had no flavor, about the only thing I could tint was a tiny bit of cilantro. Once you dip it in the sauce that comes with it, things improve, but we both felt the empanadas should be able to stand on their own. The last tapas item we got was the costillas al ajillo, these were both disappointing AND awful. They are advertised as "fall off the bone fried rib tips, garlic infused olive oil, crisp garlic chips" The only thing crispy about this was the meat itself, it was incredibly dry and had no flavor. There was a little bit of olive oil and some minced garlic, but not "crispy garlic chips". Credit where credits due they took if off the bill, but it was just incredibly bad. We finished with the chocolate flan which was quite good, no complaints there. All in all it was disappointing and I don't know that we would come back.
